    oh, she was with the board at HP? that explains why they SUCKED SO HARD FOR SO MANY YEARS.

    Apparently she wasn't very good at her job in Stanford from what I've read. Another case of "we appointed a black woman" because of race and gender and got poor results because hiring quotas are a stupid idea.

    When did Saddam Hussein attack America? He was a jerk, but he never attacked us even though we threatened the sovereignty of his nation by using no-flight zones which had not been approved by the UN. The US acted unilaterally against Hussein, or perhaps Bilaterally if you include the UK.

    but lying to the American people to stage an invasion of Iraq, a country without ICBMs (and their inherent ability to deliver nuclear destruction to America), was not just a crime, it was a TREASONOUS act for which the architects of the Iraq War (Bush, Cheney, Rice, and Rumsfeld) should be prosecuted and then executed.

    didn't time magazine point out that she's happy being closeted? because being openly gay would mean taking on the GOP establishment. she'd much rather be a tool.

    She's a horrible cunt who lied to America to lead us into a war that helped to bankrupt the country, both morally and economically. Gifting her a board position is as helpful to a technology company as literally sucking GWB's cock. I will be migrated off from Dropbox by the end of the day. Fuck them.

    The UK government is only willing to spend as much as 18,235 new personal computers cost. The cost of replacing those 800,000 XP-running computers is 43x higher than this budget, so sure, it saves them a lot of money up front, but they're still stuck with a bunch of shitty XP boxes. Someone should fire their CEO and CFO for making such a terribly short-sighted decision.

  14. that's ok on Vermont Nuclear Plant Seeks Decommission But Lacks Funds · · Score: 2

    the government (us citizens) always foot the bill for building and decommissioning nuclear plants. why should the actual businesses have to pay their own expenses?

  15. Re:Take 'em offline on Ask Slashdot: Preparing For Windows XP EOL? · · Score: 1

    there are good reasons to keep XP around in a virtual machine for running apps that won't work on newer OS's, but I fear that i won't be able to authorize XP so there will be no more fresh installs / reinstalls of XP

  16. Diebold? on Remote ATM Attack Uses SMS To Dispense Cash · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's gotta' be Diebold, famous makers of the voting machines used to swing the Bush "elections". They now call themselves Premier Election Systems. But Diebold is one of the primary manufacturers of ATMs.

  17. Re:Two approaches to improving things on Google Funds San Francisco Bus Rides For Poor · · Score: 1

    Gentrification in Chicago made the crappy neighborhoods of Bucktown and Wicker Park more liveable in the 90's, and helped improve real estate values for Ukrainian Village in the 2000's. More tax revenues from real estate = better funding for schools, fire & police departments. What's not to like about gentrification? Poor people have to move? So fucking what. Shitty neighborhoods are now better places to live. Cabrini Green is now gone, but in place Chicago has a new high school that's very highly-ranked (Walter Payton High). I'm ok with that trade-off.

  18. Re:Charity vs Taxation on Google Funds San Francisco Bus Rides For Poor · · Score: 1

    Proof that Google hides profits in the Carribean? That's a bold accusation Blaskowicz.

    It's more likely they're doing what Apple does, and have shell corporations in Ireland and other locales to avoid paying taxes. But I have no proof either way.

  19. CITIES NEED TO GENTRIFY! on Google Funds San Francisco Bus Rides For Poor · · Score: 1

    Forking idiots in SF don't understand that if a city allows crappy neighborhoods to sit without investment, they're dooming their children to shitty schools and poor emergency response from fire and police departments. It is through gentrification that cities rebuild and thus rebuild their tax base. San Francisco is a very expensive city in which to live. What they should be doing from the government's side is accepting donations from successful businesses to fund more affordable housing -- that helps businesses AND city revenues as well as the citizens whom they both serve.

    religions have changed over time. i no longer have to sacrifice a goat on a mountain to show praise for god. if so-called-Christians can't accept Gays as being normal human beings, they need to ignore the old testament and reread the new testament with feeling. There are ZERO reports of Christ saying anything about gays; but he sure liked to hang out with prostitutes.
